Attitudes [to house prices] are changing

It doesn't even mention Scotland.

It quite clearly states: "YouGov, October 2013, Sample 4500 GB adults"

I know damned well they didn't. That's why they are charlatons. Scotland is in GB.

Shall I go and interview 5,000 Welsh people in Aberystwyth and ask them if they have any objection to building a third runway at Heathrow?

It seems G-Ds views are very much a minority.

It usually is a minority of one plus a few sock puppets but at least he tries hard.

67% of people who earnt 50p to do a yougov poll want house rices to stay the same or fall.

You'd think it would be higher.

Yougov seemed OK when Hamish used it to reference people wanting higher prices?

What you have linked to simply states that 66% "equivalent to 2,806,852 adults in Scotland"

It does NOT state that asked only people living in Scotland. Just extrapolates the numbers to the scottish population as it's a Scottish publication.

Hah, thanks for mentioning that, found this.

Fewer than 2,000 people filling in a survey to get 50p.

Woop.

Proves the media, consumer groups, economists, politicans, business groups and journalists wrong. Infact, I'd go as far to say all these talking heads are completely irrelevant now, thanks to those people claiming their 50p.

Indeed.

So you are no better than me

Interesting, isn't it, that I'm the unintelligent one, but you use the exact same response.

Hamish laughed down my response. Presumably, he'll laugh at you, too?

Though we all know he wont!

This from the Spectator:

This year’s party conference season was hardly memorable, but YouGov’s Joe Twyman seems to have made the most of what was on offer. In a post on the polling organisation’s website, Twyman writes:

‘At the Labour conference in Brighton I met someone who, it subsequently transpired, had even gone as far as having ‘It’s the Economy, Stupid’ tattooed on her body, albeit out of public view.’

Mr Steerpike is intrigued by how it ‘subsequently transpired’ to Twyman that this woman had a private tattoo on her body.

The difference is my opinion on yougov has remained static, whereas you pick and choose when it suits you.

Cos, you know - you're the unintelligent one.

You just choose only to share your opinion on yougov when the results don't show what you want to see? When Hamish posts a yougov poll, you let it pass, even if active on the thread. Can't begin to think why.

Well this thread went well. I honestly thought that was some of the most in depth research on house prices we've seen for some time.

Shame it was taken down this route.
